TORONTO — The Raptors weren’t coy about the script they planned to follow Wednesday evening — not that having only 10 available players is conducive to maintaining a sense of mystery, anyway. So, after seeing a depleted 76ers team beat the Nets behind offensive rebounding and second-chance points the day before, coach Nick Nurse announced before the game that they’d try to do that, too.
“But I imagine they’re probably putting the focus on that, and I also imagine they’re probably pretty [ticked] off with the results last night,” Nurse added. “We should get a very valiant effort from them tonight.”
Nurse turned out to be half right.
